High-Efficiency Error Correction for Photon Counting
Today's data-driven society demands high data rates and high-rate communication links. Addressing these needs in everything from gigabit Ethernet network connections and telephone or cable television signals to communication between spacecraft can require high bandwidth, high power, large transmit or receive apertures or both, and high receiver sensitivity. Optical communication is attractive f...
متن کاملDevelopment of a high-quantum-efficiency single-photon counting system
A high-quantum-efficiency single-photon counting system has been developed. In this system, single photons were detected by a visible light photon counter operated at 6.9 K. The visible light photon counter is a solid state device that makes use of avalanches across a shallow impurity conduction band in silicon. Threefold tight shielding and viewports that worked as infrared blocking filters we...
متن کاملOPTIMA: A Photon Counting High-Speed Photometer
OPTIMA is a small, versatile high-speed photometer which is primarily intended for time resolved observations of young high energy pulsars at optical wavelengths. The detector system consists of eight fiber fed photon counters based on avalanche photodiodes, a GPS timing receiver, an integrating CCD camera to ensure the correct pointing of the telescope and a computerized control unit. Since Ja...
متن کاملHigh-efficiency single-photon detectors.
Visible light photon counters (VLPCs) and solid-state photomultipliers (SSPMs) are high-efficiency single-photon detectors which have multi-photon counting capability. While both the VLPCs and the SSPMs have inferred internal quantum efficiencies above 93%, the actual measured values for both the detectors were in fact limited to less than 88%, attributed to in-coupling losses. We are currently...
متن کاملHigh Accuracy Calibration of Photon-Counting Detectors
We discuss a practical implementation of a photon-counting detector calibration using correlated photon pairs produced by parametric down-conversion. In this calibration scheme, the detection of a first photon triggers the measurement sequence aimed at detection of a second photon by a detector under test (DUT). We also describe measurements of radiant power with a photon-counting detector, whi...
